FSB Podcast Discussion

[Viniero09]

Is there any news on the squad and tactics update..

[Chris Davies]

Poddy coming soon Chris?

Not a lot to talk about at the minute, the last thing I want to do is put up podcasts where I ramble about nothing (more than usual ). If there's still nothing by this time next week then I'll start a series where I do an analysis of each mode and what needs to change, like I did for FIFA 09. But it would be nice to get some news to talk about.

Is there any news on the squad and tactics update..

Nope, still waiting for it, should be along this month...

Chris where can i get the "EA fix my manager mode" tee?

[Schumi]

EA sells those themselves, however they are having lots of problems with them like MM...

[Nanny]

haha does the tee promise to be 100% cotton but then end up being 100% tissue paper?

[Viniero09]

This is what this chap (mod) is sayin on at the EA forums at the moment...

There are no plans for another mandatory game update as we have reached the size limit imposed by Microsoft for mandatory game updates. There will however be an optional update made available as free DLC to address some issues with the commentary as well as a squad update addressing some issues with custom tactics for teams.

hey microsoft, your mum cant cook

very recently nba 2k10 had a patch out.... for the ps3 the patch was 69 mb where as for the 360 it was 5mb (this is what i've heard on at OS cant confirm)... so quite clearly a company out there is willing to adapt to the diff conditions i cant understand why EA arent doing the same give us (ps3 users) another patch as it is u'll screwed us over on the graphics... such issues might see 360 games in the future being released much later than ps3 games once they iron out the bugs..

this would be really nice if EA did this for us ps3 users. because then they would at least be showing they are doing all they can and its actually outside limitations thats restricting them

[Viniero09]

i doubt it will happen though coz they wouldnt want the gameplay experience to be different on the two systems... i think they are to diplomatic a company to take a stance more so in support of an Asian company (sony)... it only makes me wonder if the restrictions would have been the other way round.. which i guess is fair enough coz konami surely favours the ps3..

[Pes-FiFa]

The only thing different are the controls.

@ Chris any news on the commentary DLC also any idea if they'll update squads with missing players like zenden (sunderland)... Also i downloaded the latest squads they seemed to have changed the tactics for other leagues can u confirm?

Only news on the commentary DLC is that it'll be ready when it's ready - as for the squad update featuring "fixed" tactics, yes, that is available now.

As for when players like Zenden will be added, it'll most likely be in the January transfer update (so sometime within the first week or two of February).

You can easily create Zenden yourself. If you know what kind of player he is. Stamina, speed, agility, shot power. He will not look exactly the same, but I doubt EA will do this when they create him.

[Viniero09]

this new tactics update seems to be as bad as before only instead of everything being at 70 its around the 50 Liverpools default tactics has all things set at 50...

Mainly down to Chris's new work commitments. Suff and Chis have plans to start a new FSB podcast series soon, although no date has been confirmed as yet.

[Joe]

How come there hasn't been a new podcast in ages??
There has been a brand new World Cup game for Fifa, but yet no podcast!??

I am just saying this because I REALLY enjoy the podcast and I enjoy hearing the news, thoughts and expectations for FIFA.

Over at WENB they do a weekly podcast and I have to listen to them just to hear their segment of FIFA discussion. (just to get my quick fix of fifa news)

So please hook us up with something for the ears!

[MGMT]

Agree. Where's Chris Davies?

[Nanny]

He has a new job and is very busy atm. We are working on trying to get a podcast up soon.

I offered to jump on one but my Australian accent might be a bit much for your speakers.
